Thank you Simon & Schuster Canada for allowing me to read an arc of Songs from the Deep by Kelly Powell.
This book is incredible with the characters, and I loved the chemistry between Jude and Moira. However, I would have liked more worldbuilding in the story as I had no clue if this was supposed to be on Earth or a made-up world. Why are the tourists coming to this island to see sirens? Why are the sirens on that island? Has it always been like that, or did something happen to make the relationship between mermaids and humans? How did the sirens come to be?
I always am probably going to sound like a horrible person for this, but I wish it did not start with the death of a little kid because I would much rather be torn about by a kid being killed after I know about him. It began to feel like the author did it because it was a shock factor and a kid, how could someone kill a kid?
I totally forgot I had preordered a copy of the book, but I'm glad I did because now I don't have to repurchase it.
If you like mythical stories, I will recommend reading this book.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
